Disgusting site. Mostly older guys (40+) that are not in very good shape yet are still looking to score within the next five minutes of logging in. And they don't even come on with clever pickup lines like Star Wars themed - it is more "I want to do X with you, are you agreeable to such a scenario?" Especially if you are within a major metro don't bother wasting time messaging someone not in your "neighborhood" as defined by a five minute walk. Due to anonymity concerns (HIV as well as getting raped/killed by an angry straighty with a grudge) I would advise you stay away from it. But if you are into the NSA thing, go for it, just have someone look after your snake/goldfish/dog etc. after you leave your apartment that night. And as Paul warned above - don't look for a serious monogamous LTR there because a few lies later you probably are going to feel silly.

My hierarchy of gay sites would be the following, based on general education level available and the likelihood of phallus (including derivatives) being one of the first three words out of someone's mouth in the initial message exchange:Manhunt < Adam4adam < Okcupid < Zoosk < Cupidtino

And Paul is right- them saying "looking for friends" is ridiculous. They are pussies scared to be honest.

You are not an idiot since you asked a good question and you are not being naive by ignoring people. I am the idiot that had an account there and kept feeling silly after things I thought might be lies became obvious lies over time ... and then I started the process all over again. Until I finally learned.

If you are looking for Mr. Right then you can do a lot better for yourself than that site

I disagree. I do not think Manhunt is disgusting. It is what it is, lol.

Back to the OP's question. I've meet some really great guys on Manhunt. Not all the guys I meet were for hook ups either, lol. Some guys on there are really cool and down to earth.

blactor, I think you need to ask yourself why you are using Manhunt. Manhunt is arguable a website dedicated to facilitating hook ups; however, that is not its only function. Be warned - the vast majority of guys there are looking for hook ups only. When using Manhunt, I think you need to be honest about what it is you are really after. And try not to play games,

Take it for what it is. If you're looking for a husband, -probably not the best place to shop. But if you're looking for a little no-strings play, then put your bullshit detector on, grab a handful of condoms and go to town!

I always have to laugh to myself at the guys who join obvious hook-up sites and then get their panties in a bunch because everyone else is there for the hookup! That's like going to a bathhouse "just to sit in the hot tub" --please!
